Ink POV
Today is Pj and Gradient's birthday. They turn fourteen today. Error would be so happy. I have to put on a smile today.
  For my boys.
  I felt someone hug me. It felt so much like Error I... I don't want to look back. I know I'll see nothing.
  I don't want to be alone. I don't want to live without him. Stars I wish he were here.
  I turned. Like I thought. Nobody.
  "...I... I miss you..." I said.
  I got up, got dressed, and woke up my sons.
  "Happy birthday babies." I said.
  Pj smiled.
  "Thanks mom." He said, rubbing his 'eyes'.
  Gradient hugged me and smiled. I smiled back. It honestly kind of hurt.
  I asked what they wanted to do and they said go somewhere. While they talked about where to go I felt the familiarity of Errors hand on my shoulder.
  Don't look back. He isn't there. Don't look back.
  "Mama, are you ok?" Gradient asked.
  I snapped back to reality. I realized I was shaking.
  "Y-yeah. Just a little cold." I said.
  "Hotlands!" Pj said.
  "Ooo good idea." Gradient replied.
  So I took them to Underswap Hotlands. They talked with US Undyne for a bit. I went somewhere private to think.

Error POV
  I fallowed Ink to a private place. I sat by her as she tried to collect her thoughts. She's tired. She's mentally exhausted.
  I regret this. I really do. I just want to be with my baby again.
  I laid my head on her shoulder. She jumped but only a few tears escaped her eyes. She covered her mouth before anyone could hear.
  After wiping away her tears we went back to Pj, Gradient, and Underswap Undyne.
  Pj and Gradient went to look around the lab.
  "How are y-you holding up I-ink?" Undyne asked.
  "Honestly I'm... i-I'm fine." Ink lied.
  Undyne didn't believe it.
  "Fine. I...I miss him. I feel so alone and I just... I keep thinking he'll just walk by me any second and hold me and tell me everything is ok." She said, trying to stop herself from crying.
  "Grief... does take time. I know it's hard for you." Undyne said.
  Ink nodded. I feel so bad right now. I'm so stupid I should've just fought harder. I should've remembered it was for her...

Pj POV
  We go back to mom and she's wearing one of the fakest smiles I've seen. I think she thinks we think she's happy today.
  I know she's not. Gradient sees it to.
  But we can't tell her to stop. She'll deny everything and say she's fine.
  We traveled the rest of Hotlands. I asked if we could go see Geno and Fresh and Goth. Mom said yes so we went.
  Goth was excited to see us.
  Gradient was still uncomfortable with all the bright colors Fresh wore.
  Geno and Reaper talked with mom and tried making her laugh. It seemed to work.
  Goth, Gradient, and I decided to play Mario Cart for a while. It was a lot of fun.
  Goth and I were screaming at each other the entire time but that's the fun of it. Not for Gradient though. He hated anything loud. Just like dad.
  My 'heart' dropped. He...he could turn out just like dad. I don't want that. Dammit I lost my dad I need my brother.
  When we were done playing I hugged Gradient. I hugged him tightly. He hugged back mostly in confusion.
